Programmable gravimetric measuring instrument, method for creating an application software, system with a programmable gravimetric measuring instrument, and software for executing the method for creating an application software
First Claim
1. Method for computer-aided creation of an application program which is executable on a gravimetric measuring instrument, wherein for creating the application program use is made of a computer which contains a display device and an input device, and wherein the method comprises:
- representation of several application modules on the display device;
selection of a first application module by means of the input device;
selection of a second application module by means of the input device;
linking the first application module to the second application module by means of the input device to define a link which determines a chronological sequence of the first application module and the second application module;
computer-aided conversion of the selected first and second application modules and the link into an application program; and
computer-aided validation of the application program by application of a prescribed rule-set, wherein;
the application program is released for use if the validation is successfully completed;
or computer-aided adaptation of the application program with renewed computer-aided validation is performed if the validation was not successful.

Abstract
System with a computer for computer-aided creation of an application program, wherein the computer contains a software module, a display device, and an input device. The system has a gravimetric measuring instrument for execution of the application program, and a communications link. The computer executes the following steps:
Representation, selection, and linkage of several application modules on the display device;
Conversion of the selected application modules and the link into an invalidated application program;
Validation of the application program by applying a prescribed rule-set, wherein
i) the application program is released for use if the validation is completed successfully, or
ii) computer-aided adaptation of the application program with renewed computer-aided validation is made possible if the validation was not successful.

13. System comprising:
-
a software module;
a computer for computer-aided creation of an application program, wherein the computer contains the software module, a display device, and an input device;
a gravimetric measuring instrument for execution of the application program;
a communications link via which the computer can be linked to the measuring instrument, wherein during execution of the software module, the computer;
represents plural application modules on the display device;
aids selection of a first application module by means of the input device;
aids selection of a second application module by means of the input device;
aids linking the first application module to the second application module by means of the input device to define a link which determines a chronological sequence of the first application module and the second application module;
converts the selected first and second application modules and the link into an application program; and
validates the application program by application of a prescribed rule-set, wherein;
the application program is released for use when the validation is successfully completed;
orcomputer-aided adaptation of the application program with renewed computer-aided validation is performed when the validation was not successful. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)

25. Gravimetric measuring instrument comprising:
-
a network interface for establishment of a communications link to a computer, or with an interface for establishment of a direct link to a computer;
a memory for storage of an application program;
a processor for execution of the application program; and
means which enable the computer to;
monitor the execution of the application program;
verify during execution of the application program whether execution of the application program takes place according to a prescribed rule-set; and
interrupt execution of the application program when a violation of a rule of the prescribed rule-set, or a non-compliance with the prescribed rule-set, is detected. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29, 30)

31. Software for use in a computer to enable creation of an application program which is executable on a gravimetric measuring instrument, wherein the computer when executing the software aids execution of the following steps:
-
representation of several application modules on a display device;
selection of a first application module;
selection of a second application module;
linking the first application module to the second application module to define a link which determines a chronological sequence of the first application module and of the second application module;
conversion of the selected first and second application modules and of the link into an application program; and
validation of the application program by application of a prescribed rule-set, wherein the application program is released for use when validation is successfully completed, or computer-aided adaptation of the application program with renewed computer-aided validation is performed when the validation was not successful. - View Dependent Claims (32, 33, 34, 35, 36)
